Select the goal that is in Draft Status and click on the drop-downbutton and select Delete.
A warning message will appear asking you to confirm the deletion. Select Yes to delete the draft goal.
Only goals that are in Draft Status can be deleted in Carolina Talent.
Cancel Active Goals

Select Cancel.
A warning message will appear asking you to confirm the cancellation. Select Yes to cancel the goal.
Once canceled, the goal will be removed from your main view and archived. You can still access it by adjusting your filters to show canceled goals.
